Michael W. Smith Album

Words: Michael W. Smith and Wayne Kirkpatrick
Music: Michael W. Smith

I'm blazing a trail that leads to vice
So easily enticed
By darker means
When out of the wilderness of choice
I hear that one still voice
Call to me
Chorus:
Go west young man
Go west young man
When the evil go east
Go west young man
Go west young man
Find a heart that's golden

Why must I wander like a cloud
Following the crowd
Well I don't know
But i'm asking for the will to fight
To wear the crown of life
And you say go

Chorus

The mind is weak the heart is frail
When it goes beyond the pale
So unwise

Chorus

Words: Michael W. Smith and Wayne Kirkpatrick
Music: Michael W. Smith

Brother, haven't you noticed
There's a war on the soul of man
Hey there, sister
The world is reaching
It could use a helping hand
So come on
No dues are needed
Just a kind heart will be enough
There's a hunger
But you can feed it
Sign the card and join the club
Bridge
We are drawing from an ancient solution
We're embarking on a new regime
We are calling for a new revolution
Be part of the parade
Get on the Love Crusade

Chorus:
Na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na

Jesus said love your neighbor
Like you would love yourself
Get together
Do Him a favor
Give your love to someone else

Bridge II
Just a little sets the wheels in motion
A little more and we could change the world
You can shine a light if you have the notion
So get out of the shade
Get on the Love Crusade

Chorus

Rap:
Come on everyone
There's a lot that can be done
A little love can go a long, long way
So rise to the occasion
Of a radical invasion
(Hey) Don't let the world go down in flames
Fight the fire with a fire
Push it to the limit
And be a renegade
Light a fuse-make a spark
Try to penetrate a heart
There's a burning need to fill the world with love
Love is kind, love is sound
It makes the world go round
So it keep it turning
There could never be enough
Hatred'll spoil the feast
That's the nature of the beast
So don't ever let your heart be swayed
Draw the sword, slay the dragon
Get on the bandwagon
And be a fighter on the Love Crusade

Bridge I

Chorus

Words: Michael W. Smith and Wayne Kirkpatrick
Music: Michael W. Smith

The wind is moving
But I am standing still
A life of pages
Waiting to be filled
A heart that's hopeful
A head that's full of dreams
But this becoming
Is harder than it seems
Feels like I'm
Chorus:
Looking for a reason
Roaming through the night to find
My place in this world
My place in this world
Not a lot to lean on
I need Your light to help me find
My place in this world
My place in this world

If there are millions
Down on their knees
Among the many
Can you still hear me
Hear me asking
Where do I belong
Is there a vision
That I can call my own
Show me I'm

Chorus

Words: Michael W. Smith and Wayne Kirkpatrick
Music: Michael W. Smith

Sittin' in the rain
Water on your brain
Got a hole in your boat
Trying to stay afloat
Has got you down
I've got a wind in my sail
Rubber boots and a pail
I'll throw you a line
Rest assured that I
Won't ever let you drown
Chorus:
'Cause when you're up against the wall
You know I'll be here for you, for you
When you rise and when you fall
I'll always be here for you, for you

When the plans you make
Fall through and take you
For a loop
Or some bird has flown the coop
And left you stranded
Just lean on me
And together you see
We'll carry the load
Even if we don't
Quite understand it

Chorus

Chorus

Words: Michael W. Smith and Wayne Kirkpatrick
Music: Michael W. Smith

(Tell me) How long will we grovel at the feet of wealth and power
(Tell me) How long will we bow down to that golden calf
How long will be too long
(Tell me) How long will we curtsy to the whims of new religion
How long will we water down the truth
'Til truth is no more
How long will be too long
Chorus:
The power of faith and love
Can change the stuff we're made of
But still we wait
(Tell me) How long will be too long

(Tell me) How long will we drink from the chalice of indifference
Neither be hot or be cold
Can a sober soul know
How long will be too long

Chorus:
Is there not more to us
Than cursed dust to dust
I feel my hope fading
How long will be too long

How long will be too long

(Tell me) How long will we travel from the ways that God intended
Won't it all tumble down if His holy wrath comes
How long will be too long

Chorus:
The power of faith and love
Can change the stuff we're made of
When will it be too late
How long will be too long
How long will be too long
How long will be too long

Chorus: (in Lugandan)
Kimu nkimaanyi
Buli muntu alina ensiigo
Omutima gwo gukulung 'aamye
Buli muntu alina ensiigo
Some people quietly reveal
In the manner of the meek
Some people shout the way they feel
To a radical degree
Some people sing it to express
While others hear another call
Some people speak with subtleness
Some don't rely on words at all
But let me tell you 'bout...

Chorus One thing I know
Everybody's got a seed to sow
let your heart of hearts
Take you down the road
Everybody's got a seed to sow

We all are pieces of the whole
With different feelings to evoke
Giving distinction to the role
Different players-different strokes
But let me tell you 'bout...

Chorus

Some people walk
Some people race
Some people vary in their pace
But God can use what you can give
Within the mystery of His ways
Don't underestimate...

Chorus

Words: Michael W. Smith and Wayne Kirkpatrick
Music: Michael W. Smith

Ink and paper, epic offers
Glass moon waltzing on the waters
Horse and carriage
I am courting the marriage
Of dreams in the wings
Of visions unseen
Chorus:
Cross my heart
Only your love will do
Cross my heart over you
Cross my heart
There is room enough for two
Cross my heart over you, over You

Inside, feels like there's a thunder
Spellbound, you've take me under
Gold and diamond
Ever saying that I'm in this forevermore
You can be sure

Chorus

Words & Music: Michael W. Smith and Wayne Kirkpatrick

Caught, in an endless time
Waiting for a sign
To show you where to go
Lost, in a silent stare
Looking anywhere
For answers you don't know
Chorus:
On the wire
Balancing your dreams
Hoping ends will meet their means
You feel alone
Uninspired
Well does it help you to
Know that I believe in you
You're an angel waiting for wings...Emily

You, going through this stage
It's a restless age
Young and insecure
Sill, there are doubts to fade
Moments to be made
And one of them is yours

Chorus

On the wire
Balancing your dreams
Hoping ends will meet their means
But you feel alone
Uninspired
Oh does it help you to
Know that I believe in you
You're an angel waiting for wings
Oh, you're an angel waiting for wings...Emily

Oh listen when I say
What does it profit a man now
To gain a fortune
And lose his soul?
